This year's family christmas gathering is held at May's house, as we did for the past few years. The one very special aspect of this celebration was that Mavis, the birthday girl, specially requested for birthday gift to be separate from Christmas gift. The poor gal, whose birthday is 21st Dec, seldom get 2 gifts in a year, like the rest of her cousins. We joked about it, claiming that her gift is always twice the value of the rest of cousins'. But eventually, all of us hear her, most probably empathised with her, and got her 2 gifts.
This year I also contributed to making (instead of buying) one food item, which is potato salad. I had a relatively fun time researching and making enquiry about the ingredients and recipe. Shopping for the right kind of potato and sour cream was challenging for me. It turn out well enough!
Here are the pictures:
Lynn wanted to wear her purple dress for the party. The deer hones were from Diaso
Me and birthday gal, our dear eldest niece/child, who turned 14, which has some significance for the teochews (Wk's mum and Mavis' dad):
I realised that both Chloe and Brayden will automatically pose for the camera with their best smile (well trained :), so here a beautiful picture of Brayden:
